mchook Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi, I'm new here so I figured I'd show a build I did some years ago. I built this hippie bus because I live about 15 min. from the original 1969 Woodstock festival & it's a familiar thing around here. It's all hand painted & the interior was made from scratch. Just figured I'd post something cool that I've done. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 That is really cool! You did a great job on what looks like a really rough casting. Really great interior detailing. I see the packs of smokes, but where are the bags of weed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Looks great - PEACE, brother!!! Is this a resin copy of ARII's Japanese bus body (1/32) mated to the front of amt's '50 Chevy PU ?I had the idea to combine this one with an amt PU cab to create a school bus but stepped back because of the bus interior (rather boring...)

Foxer Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Your hand painting skills are to be admired! That really grabs the look from back then, when 80% of us were of age to be there. Unfortunately, a friend and I turned back to Connecticut when we heard the traffic reports ... a long regretted decision. eheh Edited April 4, 2016 by Foxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ed Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Mark, Great Job on the Exterior!! But that Interior is WAY too Neat, but you did catch the required interior accessories, although the TV would have bee a rare find. Now did you scent it with Patchouli Oil?

TarheelRick Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Missed the experience, I was doing my time with the USAF in NC. That bus is out of sight. Just enough detail in the interior to get the point across, especially the "strange" red bottle on the table. Your hand lettering skills are outstanding. I really love this bus.
